So, people who were in the Gulf War in the early 90's (and perhaps this even opens the door for the subsequent war, still going on) will be covered ... even if they don't develop that MS or cancer (I presume a certain type(s)
) for several years? Of course that would mean anyone who did develop those disease since 1991 too?

If that is the case, I think this brings me back to my original point . . . that they must KNOW that these diseases can be caused by something that happened in the war ... so they are taking accountibility.
My point is just that maybe they ARE getting closer to identifying the cause of these diseases (or at least one major cause) if they are accepting responsibility for them.
I'm interested in this because there are a couple of "industries" that have been known to have a higher risk for MS, including vets and nurses . . . This is a step in validating one industry "cause".
See where I'm going with this?
